Knights of Columbus Wheelchair Program - Order Form
The Knights have helped sponsor the delivery of tens of thousands of wheelchairs worldwide! The Knights purchase wheelchairs in bulk and are able to obtain discounts for quality wheelchairs available in various sizes in partnership with the American Wheelchair Mission.
A $150 donation will deliver a brand-new wheelchair to a child, teen, or adult in need of Hope, Mobility, Freedom, and Independence. It is estimated that 1 wheelchair providing mobility to a person impacts 10 people in a positive way, including caregivers.
Wheelchairs can be ordered for local Texas delivery and use if needed. Please specify that on the form if required. Please Note Council #12480 on the form. Other orders not noted for local use will be delivered wherever the needs exist worldwide. Knights deliver those as part of Global Wheelchair Mission work.
Please contact Bill Weber - The Texas State Wheelchair Program Chairman (located in Plano) with any questions or for assistance in getting wheelchairs delivered locally. (214) 405-8023 or yankeesweb@tx.rr.com
